Harder than this one??? Wasn’t this the hardest one yet?
It seems like it is the answer, but I don’t know anyone that got it. Everyone who thought they did it “right” got 210, but that doesn’t seem right. Hoping that maybe the state sees how few people got it and, idk, give us the question back? No chance but wouldn’t that be nice.
I got 210 too but now that I think about it, that’s probably wrong. It said that Freda saw the plane pass over her head, so the two triangles would be on opposite sides of Freda. I think we all missed that.
I didn’t get 210, but that def the answer. My tutor showed it to me after. When it said it’s flying over her head it doesn’t mean it’s literally over her head and she tilted her head all the way back to look at it lol. It just means it’s flying over her head, like above her. You have to do tan, because at first she saw it from a 15 degree point, and then 52. You do tan for both and subtract tan 52 from tan 15. If you drew your diagram right and carried the rest on with sin, my tutor, who checks the regents said you would get some credit.
I just realized I did the coordinate geometry proof wrong. I used distance formula to prove congruent sides but instead of proving the diagonals perpendicular, I proved that they were congruent. The square part I’m pretty sure I got right. I proved that the slope of the sides were not perpendicular which meant the sides did not produce right angles. When I did prove the diagonals congruent, it surprisingly worked ??
Really? I’m hoping 210 is right then bc losing 3-4 points there would suck considering I knew the math.
The one thing I’m glad about is that my teacher gave us soooo many coordinate geometry proofs it was almost excessive. I proved it was a rhombus by proving it was a parallelogram with 2 congruent consecutive sides. I did the parallelogram part by showing opposite slopes congruent and then using distance formula on two adjacent sides. Then I already had the work for the slopes done to answer the square part of the question.
